About this position

Fraunhofer Institute for Photonic Microsystems IPMS in Dresden, Germany is advertising a PhD opening in analog and mixed-signal IC design focused on next-generation AI hardware. The project develops highly efficient computation-in-memory (CIM) solutions using novel non-volatile and ferroelectric memory chips, with applications in deep learning, machine learning, and computer vision.

The doctoral researcher will work on the design and verification of analog and mixed-signal circuits such as ADC, DAC, PLL, VCO, and CIM arrays, using advanced CMOS technologies including FDSOI and FinFET at 28 nm, 22 nm, and below. The role also includes layout automation with Skill programming, behavioural modeling, mixed-signal integration, system-on-chip verification, and dissemination through publications and conference presentations.

Applicants should have a completed master’s or diploma degree in electrical engineering, electronics, communication engineering, information technology, or a closely related field. A solid understanding of mixed-signal circuit architecture is expected; experience with deep learning, hardware development, or memory technology is considered an advantage. Strong English skills, analytical thinking, adaptability, and motivation for high-quality scientific output are emphasized.

The position is a 3-year doctoral appointment with a 39-hour work week, possible part-time options, and employment conditions based on the public-sector collective wage agreement (TVöD). Fraunhofer also highlights flexible working, mobile work, structured doctoral support, and access to development programs such as TALENTA for female scientists.

Interested candidates should apply online through the Fraunhofer jobs portal using the provided application link. No application deadline is stated in the post.
